Versatility
Kersten Electric Weed Killer offers high versatility in both operation location and timing. With no chemical or hazardous residues involved, it is ideal for use near water or in sensitive habitats. Unlike other methods that are affected by weather conditions like wind or rain, RootWave remains effective regardless of external influences, making it a superior option for weed control.
Environmentally Friendly
Kersten Electric Weed Killer's electrophysical technology targets only the weeds, leaving living organisms and soil nutrients unharmed. This approach helps maintain healthy soil microbiology while keeping the area free of weeds. It is particularly effective for treating Japanese Knotweed, which traditionally requires disruptive digging. RootWave eliminates the need for digging, preserving soil health and saving time and effort.
Safety
Safety is a top priority throughout the use of Kersten Electric Weed Killer. The system includes multiple safety features such as two-point operation, fuse protection on ground plugs, continuous safety checks, and an emergency stop function on both the lance and the unit. These features ensure the safety of both operators and pedestrians at all times.
Affordability
Kersten Electric Weed Killer is highly cost-effective, using a power generator that employs an energy-efficient alternating-current method to target weeds directly. A single can of fuel powers the machine for an entire day. According to the company, weed control costs only £55-120 per hectare, making it more affordable than chemical methods.
Kersten Electric Weed Killer provides a reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for weed control, ensuring a safe and weed-free environment.

Applications
Thermal Weed Control
Kersten Electric Weed Killer employs electrophysical technology to generate a high voltage that delivers an electric shock to the targeted plant. This shock penetrates deep into the roots, boiling the water within the plant and destroying its structure immediately. The process also damages the plant's chlorophyll, causing the cells to die and the plant to dry out and perish. The effectiveness of treatment depends on the plant's size and water content. Emerging weeds are generally easier to treat, while larger, more established plants may require multiple treatments. Operation is straightforward: simply press both yellow buttons on the handle, target and treat unwanted weeds instantly. There is no trigger time or waiting period, thanks to the power generator.
